Description
BULLKID is an R&D project on a new cryogenic particle detector to search for low energy processes such as low-mass dark matter and neutrino coherent scattering off nuclei. The detector unit we are building consists in an array of 60 silicon absorbers sensed by phonon-mediated, microwave-multiplexed Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs), with energy resolution on nuclear recoils around 100 eV and total mass of 20 g. The single detector unit is engineered to ensure a straightforward scalability to a future kg-scale experiment. In this talk we will describe this innovative detector concept and the recent encouraging achievements of the project following the operation of the first prototypes.
